Funding for Your Training

There are various external funding options available to you for your studies.

For programs leading to a federal certificate or diploma, or marcom certifications, you may be eligible for grants. Find all the information on the SEFRI (section “Higher Vocational Education” > “Contributions for preparatory courses for federal exams”). 

The federal government grant is the responsibility of SEFRI. SAWI makes no commitments whatsoever regarding the subsidized portion.

For the Canton of Vaud, the Cantonal Foundation for Vocational Training FONPRO works closely with businesses to support higher education.
